I think I may have broken a few people by pointing out that stars do not intrinsically twinkle and that this is just an effect added by the Earth's atmosphere. Sorry? 馃樁鈥嶐煂笍
@quixoticgeek it's going to be pretty much the same - the stars are very far away and our atmosphere very thin, so get to outside of it does not change much in what we see. What we get rid off are the effect of the atmosphere - the twinkling is because of atmospheric effects (similar effect to warm air above a hot street), the stars themselves don't twinkle! So the view is in a way clearer.
